The Cheapest Gift You Have Ever Received

[Barbara]

I can't believe it! An empty bottle of BBQ sauce, jams that have been tasted, shirts with stains.
I am glad I never made this experience in my life.
Company gifts are a different thing however. I got this year a gift that is a very big book (like 20 inches high) of fairytales together with a CD. It is designed in a cheap-oldfashioned way (artificial plastic leather in red and gold) but I can tell it must have been expensive. It's just simply not my style and I don't know anybody whom I wanted to give it as they would think it was my style. I'll try to sell it on ebay- but I have a bad conscience because of course it was meant to impress me very much.
My company this year had pretty big pieces of very good chocolate, wrapped in company style paper. I am sure that gift will not be re-gifted very often

I have never received a cheap (as in cheesy) pre used gift.I did get
a pair of cowboy boots, that I had begged long & hard for, for Christmas.

My little brother took them out in puddles after a hard rain & the soles
fell off. Looking back, they were probably a cheaply made pair.
